Club 555 Online Dating Partners with 8minuteDating.com to Offer In-person Events!
Seattle 01/15/2005 - Singles now have it easier than ever before. Club 555 has partnered with 8minuteDating.com to offer in-person dating events in cities across the U.S. While online dating has surged in popularity to an estimated 40 million visitors during the past 12 months, fewer than 5% of those singles are actively meeting one another in person. Singles fear lengthy, awkward or expensive first dates, especially when they quickly conclude that there's no chemistry.
"Singles really enjoy 8minuteDating events", says Tom Jaffee, CEO and founder of 8minuteDating.com, "because in a series of casual 8 minute conversations they can meet lots of eligible singles in one night and quickly decide which people they'd like to see again. C. Joe Eichler, CEO of Club 555 Networks, Inc. says, "Combining online dating with in-person events makes it faster, safer, and more enjoyable than ever for singles. Club 555 has thousands of singles looking to meet someone and we encourage them view other profiles on our website and invite anyone they'd like to meet in person to come to the party. That way they'll meet lots of people who interest them and most likely make at least one connection."
Founded in 2001, 8minuteDating.com provides a fast, fun and guaranteed way for singles to meet in person. Participants have eight one-on-one dates that last eight minutes each. At 8minuteDating events, over 90% of participants report that they met someone who they would like to see again, and if they don't meet someone, their next event is free.
Founded in 2003, Club 555 provides our members with features such as live video chat and our exclusive audio chat. For more information on 8minuteDating.com, Match Events Inc, or dating related services, visit www.8minuteDating.com and for your online dating needs visit www.club-555.com.
Speed Dating events provides singles, gay and lesbian also, a safe venue for meeting their online friends. People who have been chatting and emailing each other on online dating services, like club-555.com, rarely ever meet face to face. Speed Dating is the natural extension of online dating and online personals sites to extend a service to daters to make it easier to get out of the box.
How does it work?
Speed Dating brings together equal numbers of guys and girls in some of the hottest bars, cocktail lounges and other venues for a fast, friendly and safe night of meeting, mingling, and getting to one other. Each guy and girl will spend 8 minutes sitting and talking with each other, and getting to know one another. After 8 minutes, a bell is rung, and the guys move along to the next girl. but before they do, everyone decides if they would like to see that person again. If they do, they simply mark that on their match up card. After about 90 minutes (depending on event size), every guy has spent 8 minutes with every girl.
Why does it work??
If you meet enough people over a period of time, eventually you will meet someone with whom you “click”. At a Speed Dating event you’ll meet between 10 and 20 singles of similar age in one night. Chances are there may be 2 or 3 whom you’d like to catch up with again. Many singles are even using Speed Dating as a way to build up their social network. You’ll see some people swapping phone numbers with guys and girls and then inviting everyone around for a BBQ or meeting up later on Club 555 in their video chats or audio chats. Speed Dating is about MEETING lively, confident, outgoing and talkative singles. Speed Dating attracts ‘real’ singles, from all walks of life and professions, who genuinely want to meet someone. We hear this all the time from singles who have tried all the different dating and matchmaking methods….”Speed Dating events are full of nice people and we have more fun at your events!!”. That’s not to say special events don’t attract professionals, of course they do, a large percentage are professionals. Try it and you’ll know exactly what everyone is talking about!
The perfect 8 minutes??
It's not uncommon in a speed dating event for a regular speed dater (those who come every 6 weeks or so), who have perfected the art of getting matches at dating events to meet several matches in one event. They know exactly what to say during the 8 minutes which will result in them getting a match. Those regulars may make 6 to 8 matches in one night, and that means a very busy social schedule over the next 2 months.
